The Mystery Of The Giant Birds
00:54:00
Dir.  Bertrand Loyer   –   France   –   English

Synopsis Elephant Birds of Madagascar and Moas of New Zealand sound like creatures from a fantasy book but these giant cousins of the ostriches once actually existed. From a few hundred years ago to the late Cretaceous period, some 70 million years ago, these birds belonging to the “ratite” family roamed the Earth. Some weighed up to 800 kilos, others stood nearly four meters high. But they all had something in common: they were unable to fly. So how did these ground-dwelling, supersized birds arrive in these distant islands?
